Case Study: Union Square Hospitality Group achieves faster employee pay access with Branch

Union Square Hospitality Group boosts employee engagement 98% with Branch

Union Square Hospitality Group, a renowned fine dining company, sought to provide its employees with faster access to their earnings as part of its "enlightened hospitality" ethos. They needed a solution to offer cashless, same-day tip payouts and earned wage access, moving away from traditional cash and weekly paychecks. They partnered with Branch to implement the USHG Digital Wallet and Card.

Branch delivered a custom-branded digital wallet and debit card solution that integrated seamlessly with USHG's systems. This allowed for immediate tip payouts and advances of up to 51% of already-earned wages. The results were highly positive, with 98% of employees actively using the wallet weekly and a significant drop in 401(k) loan requests. Branch provided a competitive advantage by empowering USHG's workforce with financial flexibility and wellness tools.
